    Ali is an interesting pick, if whupping every boxer in existence is an important consideration

    I sometimes think because of how good Floyd was his achievements get forgotten especially some of his earlier title wins
    Most of the time when he moved to a weight division he fought the top man and that was over 5 weight divisions
    I agree there are more champs than in bygone years but Floyd has still fought more of them than most, which I think shows someone who takes chances

    I said I will comment on every single. I just don’t see Pacquiao in the argument of the greatest of all time. I love Manny but NO.

    This guy was incredible…. I mean seriously try and picture Floyd going up against a prime SRR. He was a monster at welterweight.

    How on earth could Joe Calzaghe possibly be in contention?

    Walker Smith...

    Considering he was supposedly
    85-0 before turning pro.

    He was never beat at welterweight .

    He would have been one of the few 3 weight champs in a sane world when there was only one champ per division and only 8 divisions.
    If he could have only beat the heat.
    The same heat that had already knocked out the first ref...

    Walker was awesome!!!

    People saying Roy Jones and Calzaghe easily outbox him when Calzaghe was shot to pieces, fighting in Roy's back yard, in Roy's weight class

    Are you actually being serious?

    Or are you joking?

    It’s getting harder to tell on here.

    What's not true about what i said?

    Was Calzaghe at the very end of his career while Jones still had a good 10 year? Yes
    Did he school Jones? Yes
    Was it in America? Yes
    Had Calzaghe only just moved up in weight? Yes
